To make the quilt

1. Cut a 120cm square from cotton sheeting and put to one side to back the quilt with. Create a 29cm square from the remainder of the fabric. Draw the horse head from the pattern onto the flat side of the iron-on quilt wadding and cut out. Pin and press the wadding onto the centre of a 25cm square of deep pink cotton.

2. Trim around the motif leaving a 1cm border. Clip curves and corners, before folding the raw edges over and tacking. Pin the motif to the centre of the white sheeting. Place in a large embroidery frame and sew down with a small oversew stitch. Add detail to the horse’s face with three strands of darker embroidery thread.

3. From fabric cut the following: four, 15cm squares of the bold pattern horse print; 12, 8cm squares of smaller print; four, 8cm squares of the third pattern; four 8cm squares of each of the four pink prints. Pair up a small horse square with
